The Art of Silent Acting: Charades Techniques

Charades is a universal language, understood by all, yet spoken by none.

Basic Techniques

Miming the Piano - The art of pretending to play the piano with great enthusiasm, while secretly having no idea how.

The Over-the-Shoulder Lean - A classic, a timeless, a shoulder-sitting classic.

The Wavy Arms - A technique that says "I'm excited, yet also a little anxious, and possibly having a slight stomachache."

The Double-Handed Whisper - A sophisticated technique that conveys deep meaning, while also being completely incomprehensible.

The Eyebrow Wiggle - A technique that says "I'm watching you, and also judging you."

The Shoulder-Twitch Spin - A move that says "I'm excited, yet also a little on edge, and possibly having a mild case of the spins."

Or, you know, just wing it.
